Redistricting California was the reason why Dems in Texas capitulated to Republicans and returned to the state to allow them to have a quorum and pass their redistricting plan. Now it looks like they'll potentially get absolutely nothing out of the deal after giving Republicans everything they wanted. How unsurprising. That seems to be the running theme for the "opposition party" these days.
Gotta think a little further, CmdrShepard49. If the DOJ brings California to court, then whatever decision the court makes will also set a precedent for what happened in Texas. You best believe that if the courts strike down California's attempt at redistricting, then Texas will be next.
Perhaps, but you should also remember that SCOTUS ruled in July that federal courts can not issue nationwide injunctions and that rulings now only apply to the specific parties named in a specific case, meaning that if Dems in California lose their case, that ruling only applies to them and cannot be applied toward Texas unless SCOTUS says so.

A nationwide injunction may not be issued as easily, but the precedence does still matter in a case like this.
Well the rub here is that a new case will need to be filed in Texas' federal district and their federal district judges always rubber stamp everything the president wants.
There a specific spot in Texas where you're guaranteed one MAGA guy, there are other places with more sympathetic judges that can be chosen.
No it won’t. There is no rule of law. They will just do whatever they want to do.
And why can't California do the same?
Because we’ve been invaded by an army with guns and stuff.
